This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company leverages its own fiber infrastructure to provide competitive telecommunications services in Hamburg. Its business model focuses on direct service provision with customer portals for account management and webmail. The presence of multiple service centers and a parent company (Thiele Unternehmensgruppe) with subsidiaries indicates a stable organizational structure. The website content and navigation cater well to its target segments, supporting growth and customer retention. No significant advertising or tracking tools were detected, suggesting a focus on service quality over aggressive marketing.

Security posture

willy.tel demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. GDPR compliance is evident through a detailed privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. The company should enhance its security culture by publishing incident response procedures and enabling explicit user consent for cookies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact email.
  5. Maintain and regularly update security headers and SSL configurations to ensure ongoing protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets. The use of SVG icons and HTML5 video enhances modern user experience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports stable and professional operations but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced analytics integration.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
